    Lucky me, I have fibro too. I hang on a fibro board too. Gabby is frequently rx'd, some get relief, I couldn't tolerate it. I think it's in the same class as Lyrica.


    What helped my fibro pain THE most was vitamin D3. I don't hurt nearly as much. I was waaaaay low on it, per Quest lab


    Doesn't do anything for the other over 100 symptoms I can't control, like weather

    I'll leave it up to Shells to figure out where this is. I've actually been swimming in here.

    Spookie - something like this???

    or maybe like this

    Too pooped to pop. Went yest. to Ft. Worth to funeral of 40 year+ friend's father Methodist minister. Today accompanied fellow church sister to the airport via back roads to pick up her mother for a wedding. All the roads in north FW are under construction so I rode shotgun. We didn't get lost or have to make a U-turn. She has to go back at 10 tonight but her DD will go with her.


    I think the county is just not sending out the tax stmts. or sending them to prev. mortgage comp. Still doesn't explain why we don't get duplicate. We got oodles of voting stuff on water prop. and I seem to get same junk mail here at home as I get at PO box. My onco. mailed a stmt early Sept that never got to PO box. I did one day get mail of someone who is on another street with 5-6 houses in between. You betcha I complained to po manager. I was going tomorrow to co. office but too pooped. Will just make it to PT and back. Will do it on Friday. Not due until Feb. DH is an overachiever. LOL


    Our holidays are falling apart. I think I've said I have a small family just DH, DD, DB and his family. DH and DD in retail and both working day after Thanks. and Christmas and with Christmas falling mid week may not work out for her. AND DH has to work the next weekend. We only live about an hour apart but can't seem to get together.


    Hope Flatsy is out of surgery and doing well.

    Morning/evening /afternoon (which it is here)


    Well here's another with fibro and I cannot take gabapentin or anything of that type. Went into shock after one dose and the very lowest at that - it was awful. But I do know someone who has taken it for a long time and finds it works.


    If you want a summer Christmas Spookie you will have to come down my way. Its starting to warm up now so here's to a sunny December and January.

    Spookie  I agree---no snow--sunshine and shorts for  the holidays. The longer I'm down here the more people are moving here. This keeps up, I'll be back in a large family. Where is that fibro board.

    Alyson, RA and fibro, chit, and double chit. What do you use to keep it al under control?

    Spookie and Aly  Did the drugs for treatment make things worse. Were you on AI's or Tamox? Did they make it worse? Did you have to have Neulasta or neupogen?   for me the neulasta made the pain unbearable. I had the nurses knock me out with drugs. The "wolves gnawing at your bones" started with me. I loaned it to Chickie. The AI's have wrecked me.---I'm letting loose now, I'll survive. You know push it aside.. So Chickie and Spookie are on Gaba. I have often wondered if we fibro's & post polios have a different response to the drugs.

    LMG, Toilets cute, keep the ideas coming. That shot with the rainbow---cool the end of the rainbow

    Sas I am post polio as well. For me drugs cause problems and I have to be careful. I was on femara when I tried the Gaba. I take brufen, paracode, tramadol with paracetamol.And I have prednisone to have if things get really bad. So its just pain relief haha, sometimes it works,


    Stupid cancer it has just complicated everything. Sometimes it is so hard to explain why I have continual health problems.


    sleep time in this part of the world.


    night night.

    Sas. Been messing with fibro over 20 years, way before bc. Not on gabba. Couldn't remember working the morning shift. I'd have to check the bus for dents to see if I'd hit anything.


    Check out HealingWell.com go to the fibro board.

    ChickaD....I did that corn husk stuff machine as part of my PT, post op Thumb arthroplasty surgery last year.....all those husky things wanted to stay under my finger nails.....much harder surgery for me than my BMX...as the pin in my thumb was in for 8 weeks under a cast and was sooooo painful....I now have the pin in a tube at my desk.

    Di.......mine was horrible too.....3 hour surgery.....massive incision......10 weeks in a cast up to my arm pit, which had my arm bent on an angle.......thought it would never straighten out again......10 weeks of PT........must say cancer surgery was a cake walk compared to that.....although I would go through it 10 more times rather then 1 surgery with the cancer DX being the result.....
